Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

$$\text{ Compounds having either }$$
$$\text{ group or }$$ ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHOH}-$ group, give iodoform when warmed with ${\mathrm{I}}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$. Thus,
give iodoform when warmed with ${\mathrm{I}}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$. (Remember, NaOI oxidises ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{OH}$ to ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$, thus it gives positive iodoform test.)
